Abstract

Female-perpetrated sexual violence research in Australia and elsewhere has been limited, part of a less common and arguably contentious field of criminology. Because of gendered social and cultural stereotypes, female sexual offending is often perceived as harmless or too rare to warrant attention. Utilizing Schippers' pariah femininities, this paper presents a critical criminological exploration of social media users' constructions of female sex offenders and their male victim-survivors. Examining 28 Facebook posts from 13 popular Australian newspapers, our findings identified social media users' tendency to question offence severity and sexualize offenders based on appearance, revealing how offender legitimacy and conceptions of harm are shaped by gendered expectations of "pretty women" and "lucky blokes." Conclusions suggest online discourse remains influenced by gendered stereotypes, though awareness of pariah femininities is growing, with further research needed worldwide to explore the impact of such social media attitudes and commentary on the incidence of and reactions to female sexual offending against men, including victim-survivors' help-seeking behavior.

"漂亮女人 "和 "幸运男人":解读澳大利亚社交媒体对女性对男性实施性侵犯的反应》(Unpacking Australian Social Media Responses to Female-Perpetrated Sexual Assault Against Men.
在澳大利亚和其他地方,对女性实施性暴力的研究一直很有限,这是犯罪学中一个不太常见且有争议的领域。由于性别化的社会和文化刻板印象,女性性犯罪往往被视为无害或过于罕见而不值得关注。本文利用施珀斯(Schippers)的 "贱民女性"(pariah femininities)理论,对社交媒体用户对女性性犯罪者及其男性受害者-幸存者的建构进行了批判性的犯罪学探索。通过研究澳大利亚 13 家热门报纸在 Facebook 上发布的 28 篇帖子,我们的研究结果发现社交媒体用户倾向于质疑犯罪的严重性,并根据外貌将罪犯性化,揭示了罪犯的合法性和伤害概念是如何被 "漂亮女人 "和 "幸运男人 "的性别期望所塑造的。结论表明,尽管人们对贱民女性的认识在不断提高,但网络言论仍然受到性别刻板印象的影响,因此需要在全球范围内开展进一步研究,以探讨这种社交媒体态度和评论对女性对男性性犯罪的发生率和反应的影响,包括受害者-幸存者的求助行为。

With its dual focus on victims and victimizers, the journal will publish material that addresses the causes, effects, treatment, and prevention of all types of violence.
